The purpose of our preschool is to provide a happy environment in which preschool children can develop a lively awareness of the world around them at their own pace:  physically, intellectually, emotionally and socially, within an atmosphere of Christian love.

First United Methodist Church Nursery School aims to carry out its purpose through  experiences that are meaningful to children at their levels of maturity by providing:

-

A balanced daily schedule of play, snack and organized activities under the supervision of a fully qualified staff while maintaining children's health and safety.
-

An opportunity to play with similarly aged companions for essential social and emotional growth.
-

A wide variety of equipment and materials for intellectual and physical growth.
-

Opportunities for children to expand their awareness of God's wonderful world through music and movement, social studies, art, language, science, cooking, and stories.

 

FULLERTON FIRST UNITED METHODIST CHURCH NURSERY SCHOOL OFFERS A TWO-DAY, THREE-DAY, AND FIVE-DAY PRESCHOOL PROGRAM

All programs are geared to the developmental level of the children.  They enjoy a play curriculum rich in large and small muscle activities, language experiences, family style snacks, and many opportunities to experience successful decision making.

We promote student development of a positive self concept and an attitude of respect and acceptance of self and others.

As a Parent Participation program, we provide a lower child/adult ratio and can offer additional activities to enhance our curriculum.

We nurture and foster the formation of family, of parish, and of broader communities in which people live.

PICNIC DAYS

Picnic Days is an optional program offered twice a week for a nominal fee.  Children may stay on Monday or Tuesday from noon until 2:30 p.m. with two fully qualified teachers.  To implement this program on any given day, we need a minimum of ten children, maximum of sixteen.  The children bring their lunch and a drink.  This is a special time to socialize with their classmates.

ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS

Children must be at least 2.7 years of age and fully toilet trained.  The California State Department of Social Services further requires that each child enrolled give evidence of all required immunizations and present a licensed physician’s certificate of health.  The preschool is open to children of all races, colors, religions, cultures, ancestries and national origins.

As a Parent Participation Program, each child must have a parent, or parent substitute, sign up to help once day per month in the classroom.  State law requires a TB test and heal clearance for each adult participant.

REGISTRATION

A non-refundable registration fee of $55.00 for the first child and $25.00 for each additional child is due annually at the time a child is registered for preschool.  This fee includes a school tee-shirt.

Staff is chosen on the basis of their education, successful experience with young children and their concordance with our program policies, purposes and procedures.

Religious education is built into the curriculum.  We teach stories, prayers and songs that are appropriate for the children’s developmental levels.  Children learn that God  loves us and we love God.

First United Methodist Church Nursery School staff are members of the Church Related Early Childhood Education Fellowship and the National Association for the Education of Young Children and its State and local affiliates.
